Wearing school uniform in an advert, exuding the style of a teenager, this seems like yesterday, and now Jang Keun Suk is turning 30. Still bearing the smile that makes people feels good, and the steadiness seen from his eyes as we conduct the interview, we can feel he has grown up. As the images of the Mnet Produce 101 girls surfaced, he would provide words of advice, listening to him say how he looks forward to turning 30, watching his longing expression, makes one confused. The intriguing line between youth and man, Jang Keun Suk is probably somewhere there.

SEOUL, March 24 (Yonhap) — South Korean actor Jang Keun-suk said Thursday he wants to start his 30s with a clean slate with the title role in the upcoming TV series “The Royal Gambler.”

“I’ve always wondered whether I’ve been too complacent with my ‘pretty’ image throughout my 20s,” he told reporters at a press conference at SBS in Seoul. “By playing Dae-gil, which is my first TV role since turning 30 this year, I want to get rid of that and become something else.”

Jang turned 30 this year in Korean age reckoning.

In the period drama set in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), the young Baek Dae-gil is born to King Sukjong and a maid who connives to become a consort despite having already married a destitute gambler. Soon after his birth, he is abandoned by his mother and is raised by her former husband who turns him into a skilled high roller.
